Adds the machine-discoverable pointer to the existing reporting process, which previously 404'd while /security advertised the HackerOne program. Jekyll skips dot-directories when scanning sources, so the file alone builds nothing — _config.yml needs the matching include for it to reach _site.

Closes #693
Definitely not high priority, but it was simple enough that I figured I'd just send it along rather than let it sit.
/.well-known/security.txtwas 404ing while/securityhappily points people at HackerOne. This adds the little RFC 9116 file so scanners and researchers can find the reporting process without guessing.To answer the "which directory?" question from the issue: Jekyll skips dot-directories, so the file on its own does nothing.
_config.ymlneeds the matchingincludebefore it'll actually land in_site. Verified locally that it shows up at/.well-known/security.txtand that nothing else snuck into the build.One thing to keep in mind —
Expiresis a required field and I set it to 2027-08-13, so it'll need a bump before then. Happy to shorten that or trim thePreferred-Languagesline if you'd rather keep it leaner.🤖 Co-authored with Claude Code
